Trades 2025 Round 3 Trades

[Jiska]

Bice has a Bye. You can wait a week.

 

[Ingy]

I'm not willing to pay the vig, as you never take cash, just flesh.

I'm only human.

Bloke's gotta get in where he finds the opportunity

 

[gutsroy]

There is speculation that BJW has a hammy or a cork, not cramp. It was bandaged - who bandages cramp?

Flynn took intercept marks in D50 and a mark and goal F50. Of course he was competitive. Just not in the ruck contest. I'm not pretending that isn't a crucial part of his job lol.

I didn't say lay down misere, mate, I said expecting/hoping. If not I'll survive somehow on 22 scorers in a best 18 week again

If you have the luxury to hold, nothing wrong with it.
I traded partly because of Stewart 9 etc. and attraction of Lindsay. Would have preferred to hold as I think he will generate cash ay some stage.
But he wasn't competitive, he got on the end of an easy chesty from a kick forward out of a contest when he was up forward with Reid in the ruc. He got some clearances / contested possible, but they were mostly off the Witts hitouts.
But nothing wrong with the hold, saves a potentially premature trade and fingers crossed he comes back in, will be interesting to see if he does.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Thanks. Was leaning that way.

Bice, Clohesy and Clay Hall all coming up, and all look to have better JS than COS.

COS has much better JS than clohesy (and I like ted). Geelong are absolutely stacked for small to medium fwds.

 

[gutsroy]

Christ, why am I invested in Flynn?
Don't even own the bloke anymore lol
Flynn's going to get a restraining order against Scoops

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Paton won’t make money, but next week I’ll swap him to Bice.


Came in early when Stewart came down. 16 possessions at 81%, 3 tackles, 2 goals. Hard to see a world where he doesn’t hold his spot. I’d rather him than literally any defender rookies, except Bice.

Geelong are stacked with small to medium forwards and that's even before mannagh is to come in (and you could potentially say similar for martin). On the other hand Geelongs talls are all either old or young and injured (neale and sdk aside) so they will want to pump games into osullivan.

I was unwilling to blow up my side to get a decent playing 2nd ruckman.

The early bye rounds and the pressure they take off avoiding donuts was part of the calculated risk I took when I decided to run him at R2.

Admittedly I was anticipating an injury, not being so bad as an actual ruckman that the man he was recruited to replace looked a better option after a single game haha.

I completely understand your decision to move him on.

I hope you end up regretting it though obviously

Two Options - 2 down 1 up:

Perryman —> Dale
Z. Reid —> O’Sullivan
FOS —> Henderson

(Miss out on Murphy Reid, Hewitt)

Or 2 up 1 down:

Perryman —> Dale
Tsatsas or Matt Flynn —> F.Callaghan
FOS —> Henderson

(Miss out on O’Sullivan, Murphy Reid, Hewitt)

I’ve got most of the other decent rookies:

• Bice
• Trainor
• J.Prior
• Z.Reid
• NOD
• Lash
• Lindsey
• Knivitt
• Tsatsas
• Campo
• Davidson
• Stone
• Joe Berry

Any thoughts?

 

[Boyd oh Boyd]

Day to Lindsay
Perryman to Dale

If Flynn isn't named I'll have to reconsider, currently running him at Flex with Boyd at R3. I'd ideally like to have a full 23 even over the byes to maximise the chances of getting the best scores on the field. Might go Callaghan + COS and boost Flynn to Xerri.

 

[marcmurphy3]

Nope. Garcia to Henderson and Perryman to Dale already locked in.

What's your thoughts on henderson job security jiska?

Weighing up him vs Reid. Leaning henderson due to reduced price.

 

[Wellsy35]

While I completely agree with you as to who has the better JS, what's the go with Mannagh? Not on the injury list and didn't even make the emergencies. Would seem to indicate Ted may be in front of him at the moment.

I seem to recall Martin being earmarked to play half-back as well, so Clohesy might be safe from Martin's return as well.

And would Scott demote this Rd's Rising Star?.........surely not!

Lock for mine. Will string games together. Plenty of other spuds to drop first. Is hungry, mature aged and playing well. At 99k with a low BE will generate cash quick.

 

[Wellsy35]

I need help with trades this week please.
Short and Perryman can GTFO.
I want Dale as he presents the best dollar value, but then J Clark plays Wet toast and could go big.
Whitfield has had a nice rest. Paralysed by possibilities.
I am tempted to keep FOS purely because I am stubborn and believe he will improve and any trade in will diminish the
return of whoever I trade in.
Im stuck with Paton in the forwards because I panicked and don't know what forward to trade into if anyone.
I would rather premos than players like Frejah, SDK
ATM I'm thinking SHort to Sinclair, Perry to Dale, then if Hackson Prior misses, I have no idea who Prior goes too. Maybe Frejah has to be considered. Not sure the role Frejah has inherited to up his disposals so much.
Yes I have 600k in the bank cause I was panicking during lock out! sigh

If you are intent on keeping FOS, with that bank you could do a triple upgrade, e.g.

Short -> Dale
Perryman -> Clark
Prior -> Holmes

Wipes out most of your cash though.

I'd go 2 down 1 up. Tsatas still odds-on to make more money than Callaghan IMO, though trading Flynn is a fair shout. Tsatas only has a finger injury and I think he's got some good scores in him with some more TOG.

Callaghan looked awesome in the first 2 games, but young blokes playing inside struggle to maintain form after hot starts.

Tom Green the last 2 years is the perfect example.

At this stage M. Reid and Hewett don't look like the kind of rookies that will burn you a la Chandler a couple of years ago. O'Sullivan is a KPD so will be up and down while if Callaghan keeps up a 110 for the next few weeks he will make a similar amount of cash for many more points.

As long as you are happy with your cash gen from the others, 2 up 1 down I say.

**** we're a helpful bunch on here

 

[Wellsy35]

**** we're a helpful bunch on here

FWIW I would be much more comfortable doing the 2 up 1 down with a Flynn trade out than Tsatas, even if Flynn plays this week. Tsatas is almost guaranteed best 22 and put up 25 touches and 11 clearances with shit TOG and a broken finger, and who knows what's going on with Flynn. So on that we agree.

At the end of the day, the difference is ultimately Z. Reid -> O'Sullivan or Flynn -> Callaghan. Dunno where this person is ranked, but ultimately I'd rather the security of points on field for a first-choice inside mid who only needs to get to ~$550k to make a trade worth it than a 2nd-year KPD averaging anywhere north of 60. If O'Sullivan starts farting out 40s again, that will hurt in Rd 5 when it's not best 18 anymore and then he's really no different to Reid or Trainor, and you've used a boost to boot.

This is great analysis
Folks will have their own viewpoints/ assumptions, but you step through the logic beautifully
And Scoops got thru a post without mentioning Flynn, too, so everybody's kicked a goal today.
Oh, wait

Thx SSwans2011 Wellsy35 and gutsroy

Rank after 2 rounds is 8,271 and yes, it’s pretty tempting to get some extra points on field

I’ve got extra cash from downgrading Sanders last week and it would be good to put it to some use

PS I hadn’t realise O’Sullivan was a KPD – that makes me feel better about having him run against me

Oh shit, you're ranked higher than me.

On second thought, I seem to remember reading that O'Sullivan is Joel Selwood's secret love child (hence the number) and is receiving personal training sessions from Scarlett, Rance and SOS, while Callaghan trained for years with Timmy Taranto and shares a midfield with Tom Green, so...buyer beware.

 

[Bennellongtime]

I'd say Perryman or even Short (especially if Miller keeps taking kick-outs) is a more pressing correction than Day.

Day went 9/10 tons before a quiet Giants game and then getting injured last year.

He's had 2 quiet weeks after looking as good as he has ever looked in Opening Round.

I was ready to rage trade him over the weekend too, but I think it's more out of frustration that he didn't make as much as we were hoping before his bye than pragmatism.

I'm worried about the Bedford tag and then he has the bye the week after anyway. I was planning to go Perryman down to bice next round.

 

[jdeezy]

Absolutely fair to say my last minute swap of Lashcroft to Draper was a terrible decision. Draper has to go, no doubts there. I've got eyes on him becoming Henderson but should be able to do Hewett or Reid as well.

While we're on the topic of expensive rooks, who would you prioritise trading more: FOS or Lalor? I spent up on them thinking they'll have decent JS, which I still think is true, but the scoring isn't great.

Essentially I can go Draper and FOS/Lalor into Callaghan and Henderson which looks juicy. Hold the other trade until I see what's happening with teams but probably a rookie DEF out for Hewett or Reid via the flex spot.

 

[northcotehead]

Sheez and JHF, is it too ballsy trading them now and buying back cheaper later on.
1. Break evens are ridiculous, will both drop in price
2. Owned by everyone. POD opportunity
3. Would bolster rest of team with guns
4. Roos forums say Sheez playing injured
5. JHF playing forward and tagged when in midfield
Convince me otherwise

I wouldn’t trade Gawn or the Horny 1.

Neale scored 41, heaps traded him out and then he pumps out a big 100.

Don’t trade premiums.

Sanders fair enough if you’re looking for cash.

I guarantee you would regreat those trades.
